Jim Crow Diary: On March 24 the Florida chapter of the NAACP issued the following statement: “The NAACP Florida State Conference voted unanimously in favor of asking the NAACP Board of Directors to issue a travel advisory for the state of Florida. If issued, the advisory from NAACP National would urge the Black community to avoid visiting or moving to the state of Florida. Board of Directors Chairman Leon W. Russell responded to this news with the following statement: “The recommendation from our Florida State Conference is a clear indication of just how egregious Governor Desantis’ actions are. Any attempt to intentionally erase or misrepresent Black History is a direct attack on the foundation of comprehensive education. Be clear – Black history is American history. We are proud of our Florida State Conference for meeting this moment with the equal aggression and intention that is a necessary response to these attacks. Any location in America where our history has been erased does not offer us, or our children a bright future.”

Girls Get Screwed
Not that kind of screwed,
what I mean is,
they’re always
on the short
end of
things.
The way things work, how
guys feel great, but
make girls feel
cheap for doing
exactly what
they beg
for.
The way they get to play
you, all the while
claiming they
love you and
making you
believe it’s
true.
The way it’s okay to gift
their heart one day, a
backhand the next, to
move on to the apricot
when the peach
blushes and
bruises.
These things make me believe
God’s a man, after all.
–From Ellen Hopkins’s Crank (2004), one of the books on the book-burners’ list in Flagler County.

RE: Ellen Hopkins Author Interview
A Sunday sermon, in less than 3 minutes, the equal of any.
Tomorrow is another day, and a new day; two different things.
Thank you.
Poop says
Drawn by a Canadian. These idiots, not solely Canadian, continue to trash Florida but it’s destination #1 for vacation and fun. But let’s change it to make it like where we live, where we escape from, when we want to enjoy ourselves.
Pete says
Please heed warning and do not come here
Skibum says
As said on one of the late-night TV talk shows: Trump finally really did win the popular vote… of the NY Grand Jury who voted to indict him!
Steve says

Daryl Cagle in Santa Monica, CA. Childish attempt at comics. Typifies the meaning of lack of respect.
Pierre Tristam says
Lack of respect? For a criminal predatory bigoted two-timing lying shithole-country racist pussy-grabber? Typifies who some people admire in this country these days.
Steve Ward says
So what you are saying is …lol
HammockBear says
Potty Mouth Pierre. Really? Very obvious the dislike of Trump.
joe says
And yet he is literally worshipped by the cult
Pierre Tristam says
Dislike? You’re too kind. Try disgust. Revulsion. Or if you’re more into picture, picture mount Vesuvius as a vomitory.
Laurel says
How in the hell can someone fail vodka? Shish!
I can flippin’ guarantee ya, that if I was given the money Trump’s daddy gave him, I’d still be plenty rich today!
Laurel says
HammockBear: “Potty mouth?” Oh hell no, I can’t let that one go!
“…when you’re a star, you can do anything you want. You can grab ’em by the pussy.” DJ Trump, talking about women on the Access Live tape. Whattaguy.
Ever noticed, HammockBear, that Trump’s favorite, constant topic is always himself?
I, too, have a revolting reaction towards the baby, foulmouthed, lying, narcissistic snowflake. The only good Trump has provided was a closer look at what a sociopath is capable of. Our founding fathers thought out a whole lot to keep a balance in our democracy, but they never imagined someone like Trump.
Lamo says
Still better than Biden…
The Geode says
…and STILL has my vote (unless Desantis runs)
Sherry says
@HB. . . “Precisely” why in the world should any “educated/thinking” person have any respect for trump at all???
Sherry says
@ lamo. . . specifically in what way is trump in anmy way better than President Biden. . . “credible FACTS only” please!
Sherry says
@ geode. . . In that case, you are a complete “Fool”!
Peri says
Bill Clinton?
Peri says
You need to read some history Laurel. Many were not angels but still were good for the country. Don’t worry you can read about it online.
Lamo says
Duh, try the economy, foreign relations, crime, southern border, pretty much everything that matters to common sense America. Sorry the mean orange guy hurt your feelings though.
Pierre Tristam says
Big difference between a lech and a predator. Not to mention the lech’s intelligence and more often than not decent governance. I don;t think the predator knows or cares about governance.
Sherry says
@lamo. . . please post “credible FACTS” and “SPECIFICS”. . . otherwise, we will all continue to know that you can do no more than mindlessly post FOX talking points.
Sherry says
@Peri. . . be “SPECIFIC” about how trump was good for ALL OF US IN “OUR” country. Present only “credible FACTS” please.
Sherry says
Thanks Jim. . . FACTS DON”T LIE! Your list is right on!
